Cork family mentored by Sonia on Ireland's Fittest Family tonight

The Adamowicz family from Cork make their bow in the second episode of Ireland’s Fittest Family on RTÉ1 tonight at 6.30pm.

Mentored by Cork athletics legend Sonia O’Sullivan, the family compete alongside the Flaherty family, which includes the late Cillian Flaherty, from Dublin, the McLoughlin family from Laois, and the Fagan family from Wicklow.

The families each take on a Fittest Family classic with a twist for 2024, Raft Rage: The Rivals. They then take on High & Dry.

Presented by Laura Fox, the current series of Ireland’s Fittest Family was due to begin in the autumn, but RTÉ postponed it following the death of Dubliner Cillian Flaherty, 15, after the filming had been completed.

An RTÉ source said: “The Flaherty family have watched the series and given their full support for it to go ahead.

“We once again extend our deepest condolences to all those affected and thank our audience for their understanding.”
